Broken

Chapter 43

I woke up and felt his arms still around my waist. I smiled and slowly sat up. I felt better today, I felt like I could actually stand and walk. I tried and it was hard at first, but soon I did it. I was walking around and decided to go downstairs. His uncle was in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. 

"Here," I said, "let me help you."

"Oh no its okay," he said, "I can do it."

I walked over to the sink that was full of dishes and started cleaning them. Soon they were all done and put away. I helped him clean up a bit and then I heard shuffling upstairs so I decided to go check on him. I walked in and he stopped and looked at me. 

"Where were you?" he asked. 

"Helping," I said, "I helped him clean and do the dishes." 

"You don't have to do that," he sighed. 

"I wanted to," I said, "he had this entire list and it would have taken him hours to do it by his self. With my help it took two hours and so yeah."

"How do you feel?" he asked.

"I feel better," I said, "better than last night."

He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I felt his lips press against my forehead.  He then kissed my cheek and moved to my lips. He trailed them down onto my neck and memories flooded my head. I pushed him away and he looked at me. 

"I'm sorry," he shook, "I wasn't going to go any father than that. I'm sorry Skylar."

Tears came to my eyes and I hugged him. I hugged him tightly and he did the same with me. 

"It's okay," he whispered, "it's okay baby girl. I'm sorry babe. I am so sorry."

"It isn't you," I cried, "it's me and my dad. It is mainly me. I am so scared Austin."

"Look," he said, "Skylar look at me."

I looked up at him and his eyes met mine.

"You do not have to be scared with me," he said, "I will never ever do something intentionally that will hurt you. I won't ever do something that could hurt you. I will ask before I just act from now on okay?"

"It's okay," I shook, "you don't have to ask. I just get scared, memories come flying back..about what happened and I remember it so vividly."

"Hey," he said calmly, "Sky..babe, it is okay. I get what is happening, I understand but I won't do that to you. I won't force it upon you, I just won't do that."

I nodded and leaned my head on his chest. He rubbed my back and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you," he whispered. 

"I love you too," I smiled. 

He makes me feel better, just the way he says things. It makes me feel so much better. 

"Babe," he said.

"Yeah?" I asked. 

"Sit down real fast," he said, "I will be back okay?"

"Okay?" I wondered. 

"Just stay here," he said. 

He walked out of the room but left his phone. I got on and started going through texts. 

Emily- what the fuck

Austin- what now?

Emily- I can not believe you.

Austin- Jesus christ Emily, can't you just leave me alone??

Emily- No! Why are you with her! You could be over here having the best nights and days of you life and you choose that thing? over me? wow..never thought you would stoop so low. 

Austin- For one she is the most amazing person I have ever seen/ been with Emily. You were just a cocky self centered bitch. You didn't give a damn, I don't know why you do now. Skylar is perfect for me. I don't want to hurt her, nor would I ever. I have become so attached to her, and besides I would rather be here laying beside her and hold her all night then being with someone who is easy access, if you know what I mean.

Emily- oh I am easy access? I am sure you have had sex with her lmao

Austin- Actually, I have not. She isn't ready for that. I don't know where you heard she was a whore and a slut and all these other things because she really isn't. Take a step back and get to know her, bitch.

She never answered him, and I was quite surprised. He actually stood up for me when I wasn't with him. I was expecting him to be texting all these girls and hoping to get with them, but he wasn't. I was happy about that, and really that is all I wanted/needed to read. I knew he was mine and that made me the happiest person ever. 

I waited and waited and soon he walked in. He had a teddy bear, with flowers and a note. I smiled and started laughing. 

"What is all this for?" I asked. 

"Because," he shrugged, "you need it. I needed you to actually be happy, even if it was just for a second."

"I am always happy with you," I stood up, "but thank you so much. I really appreciate it."

"You can read the note later," he said, "once I have fallen asleep."

"Why?" I asked. 

"Because," he shrugged, "I would rather it be then."

I just looked at him and he started smiling. I laughed and set the bear down along with the flowers. 

"Thank you," I smiled. 

"Don't thank me," he smirked. 

"Too late," I chuckled. 

"Oh," he smiled, "I see how it is."

I pressed a kiss onto his cheeks and pulled away. 

"You missed," he said. 

"What?" I asked.

"You missed," he repeated.

I felt his lips press against mine and I shut my eyes. He set his hand on the underside of my jaw and slowly pulled me closer to him. He leaned his forehead against mine and placed a peck on the tip of my nose. I smiled and looked up at him. 

"You're my everything," I whispered to myself. 

"Well aren't you a sweetheart," he laughed. 

I looked up at him and he smiled. I could feel my cheeks getting hot and he kissed the top of my forehead. 

"Don't worry," he chuckled, "you are my world too."

I smiled and leaned my head on his chest. He ran his fingers through my hair and down my back. I felt his fingers go over my butt and I moved away. 

"You have a nice ass," he smiled, "I'm sorry but I had to."

I sat down on his bed and just looked at him. I then closed my eyes when I saw the clock said 12:11. The doctor had told me that I needed as much sleep as possible, so I am using that to my advantage. I felt his jump down and land right beside me and pulled me close to him. 

"What do you think you are doing?" he asked. 

"Going to sleep," I said.

"But why?" he asked. 

"Because I can," I said.

"Babe," he said, "I am sorry."

"It isn't because of that," I said, "I am just tired and the doctor told me to get plenty of sleep."

"No he didn't," he said. 

"In my mind he did," I said.

He started laughing and pulled me to him. I smiled as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against him more. I felt his abs against my back and I chuckled before closing my eyes. 

"I guess I will see you when you wake up," he sat up. 

I nodded my head slowly and I felt him place a kiss on my cheek. He ran his fingers through my hair and I soon fell asleep.
